#1 "The world should support the millions of Iraqis who seek to rebuild their lives, even as we pass responsibility to the Iraqi government and finally bring this war to a close."

What disgusting weasel words. Parsing them is like nailing jello to the wall. He can spin it to take credit without any blame, yet, if he'd had his way, Saddam would still be "the Iraqi government" and likely very close to possessing nukes.

The more I hear from and about this clown the more my reaction goes from wry bemusement to visceral disgust. God help us if we're stupid enough to elect him.

#2 Oh, we're stupid enough (not those at the Burg of course).

#3 Oh dear, he really is shaping up to be the latest contender for the 'AntiChrist' title. And if I slightly alter his name to Barack(6) Hussei(6) Nobama(6) it fits as well as Mahmou d Ahmad inejad. Maybe we could put them in the ring (of fire) together and get them to fight it out.

#4 I enjoyed seeing the World President grin early in his pep rally when someone began that Mooselim tongue wagging chant. I didn't see anyone in the audience over the age of 35 and I don't think the Germans were that excited about his history lesson or his constant references to Africa. With any luck, he'll schedule one of these rallys in Paris, Madrid, Moscow, and Brussels over the coming weeks.

#5 It's campaign ad filler for the post-Labor Day spots. That is all.

#6 I think he realizes he peaked too early for POTUS and has decided to best Tony for EU President.

I could never understand why Nixon allowed a third rate burglary to take place (if he did) when it was clear that McGovern could never win. Now I understand.

#7 The money quote for me: "...the contrast is clear. John McCain has dedicated his life to serving, improving and protecting America. Barack Obama spent an afternoon talking about it."

#8 In His image. Someone had to say it.

#9 "Today, Germany; Tomorrow the World!"

It helps, like Adolf and the gang found out, to offer free beer, brats and concerts to get the enthusiastic crowd turnouts.

#11 Never be surprised when a man's ego overtakes him and he starts to really, truly think it's his way or the highway.

Obama's ego is such that he is positioning himself as both the Second Coming of Christ and seems to actually be starting to believe he is the only chance for a new world order.

He'll start by unilaterally disarming the US. He'll continue with attempting to disarm the citizenry of the US and by establishing a corps of political commissars and devotees to police this disarming.

There will be violence during his rule for he will come to believe he rules by divine right. He already believes he deserves it.
